The misfolding of proteins to form amyloid is a key pathological feature of several progressive, and currently incurable, diseases. A mechanistic understanding of the pathway from soluble, native protein to insoluble amyloid is crucial for therapeutic design, and recent efforts have helped to ...
Overexpression of ZnT2 is found to decrease invasive phenotypes of breast cancer cells [72]. In addition, reduced ZnT4 expression is observed in the progression from benign to invasive prostate cancer [73]. Immune response ZIP10 is important for B-cell survival and function and along with ZIP...
It works by targeting a protein called amyloid that causes the formation of plaques in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s. It is hoped that the drug, delivered by twice monthly injections, may help prevent the build-up of these plaques. A transdermal formulation of donepezil (Adlarity) ...

reduced inflammation from intermittent fasting can help protect against cognitive decline,as shown in animal research. High levels of insulin and chronic inflammation are risk factors for Alzheimer’s, as they can lead to insulin resistance in the brain and exacerbate the formation of amyloid plaques...
Objective The objective is to investigate cellular mechanisms mediating the internalization of beta-amyloid 40 (Aβ40) in part of the neurovascular unit, neurons, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) endothelial cells. Methods Localization of fluorescein labeled Aβ40 (F-Aβ40) and other endocytotic mar...
more cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to flow in and out. That’s the liquid that surrounds your brain and spinal cord. Compared to when you’re awake, CSF helps clear out more waste that can hurt your cells. Deep sleep also gets rid of beta-amyloid, a protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease...
Fish oil may decrease map kinase activity (p38, p44/42, JNK/SAPK) leading to decreased AP-1 (activator protein 1) binding activity, down regulated IL-6- and TNF signaling, and decreased mitosis [22, 37, 38]. jund1 was down regulated by FISH, which could inhibit cell cycle progression....
In a newstudyinNatureusing a mouse model of the disease, researchers at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory of MIT reveal a key mechanism that may contribute to these beneficial effects: clearance of amyloid proteins, a hallmark of AD pathology, via the brain's glymphatic system, a ...
